This paper presents a new steering control structure for vehicles equipped with four-wheel steering system. A linear model of the lateral dynamics is used in this paper. This control structure is based on a simplified linear model of the lateral dynamics of such vehicles and aims to decouple the control of sideslip from the control of yaw rate. The control design is based on a linear multivariable plant and the front and rear steering angles, According to the Individual Channel Design paradigm. The proposed control structure has been applied to design sideslip and yaw rate controllers using a more accurate model of the lateral dynamics of four-wheel steering vehicles. Simulations are used to illustrate the performance and robustness of the designed controllers.

This paper mainly discusses the dynamic distribution of regenerative braking system and conventional friction braking system of EV.In order to meet the requirements of vehicle braking stability and recycle the braking energy whenever possible, the paper proposes a control strategy which based on ECE regulation and I curve.Then the proposed control strategy is embedded into the simulation software ADVISOR.The result shows that the control strategy of regenerative braking the paper presented is better than ADVISOR’s own on braking energy recovery, and is especially suitable for frequent braking city conditions.

The composition and working principles of the constructed Hybrid Electric Vehicle’s Electronic Throttle Control System are introduced. This paper presents the control strategy, and implements the Electronic Throttle Control System based on Fuzzy PID algorithm. It analyzes the resolution, react characteristics and dynamic tracking performance of the control system, and also discusses the anti-jamming measures under the automotive complex operation condition. The real vehicle test results demonstrate that this electronic throttle control system features better tracking and robustness.

This paper briefly presents a Parallel Serial Hybrid Electric Vehicle structure combined with NAC institute, constructing a CAN Communication Network of Hybrid Electric Vehicle’s Powertrain and also defining the Communication protocol of the control Network. The Network constructed is tested on bench and prototype vehicle and by using CANstress, CANoe and some other Automotive network development tools, actual test and performance analysis have been conducted. The experiment result illustrates that the control network system arrives a high stable performance and real-time with low bus load and little error frames under high transmission speed and interference environment, and can meet requirement of HEV Powertrain of stability, real-time and accurate control. Besides that, we also constructs a Diagnostic Network, which fulfills the unified diagnostic services (UDS) defined by ISO14229.

This paper presents the design of integrated control for four-wheel steering (4WS) vehicle. A vehicle nonlinear dynamics model is built based on a lateral dynamics simplified linear model. A more accurate sideslip and yaw rate controller is used for lateral dynamics model of 4WS vehicle. Then a vehicle model based on the individual channel and partial decoupling design paradigm is identified from the vehicle dynamics. The sideslip and yaw rate controller is based on a linear multivariable combined with lateral dynamics model and the front and rear steering angles. The results of a stability analysis and simulations are presented to show that the 4WS integrated control system can markedly enhance good vehicle lateral maneuverability.
